The role of the extracellular matrix in ovarian follicle development.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regulation of ovarian follicle development depends on endocrine- and paracrine-acting hormones, the 3-dimensional architecture of the follicle, and the physical rigidity of the surrounding tissue. These 3 forces are integrated throughout the life cycle of the follicle to ensure appropriate hormone secretion, differentiation of the somatic cells, and maturation of the oocyte. The process of in-follicle maturation provides a new tool for understanding ovarian follicle development under the influence of these factors.

In the mammalian ovary, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is thought to be involved in the regulated turnover of the extracellular matrix during the process of follicle development, ovulation and regression. Information concerning the role of MMP-2 in the chicken ovary is scarce. The present investigation was undertaken to determine the distribution of MMP-2 mRNA within the laying hen ovary as...

The study aimed to investigate the maturation process of ovarian follicles and ovary structure of migratory form of female Bulatmai barbel (Lucioarbus capito). The histology of oogenesis coincided with that known from most teleosts. The ovarian structure was found to be cytovarian. The development of the oocytes is started from early May along with spawning and the degeneration of matured oocyt...
